SIX SERIOUS DEMOCRATS (69% of Dems cannot name any of the nine candidates)

NY POST ^ | May 6, 2003 - | GEORGE W. WILL

[Liz]

Saturday night's tossed salad of nine Democratic presidential candidates and their 60-second thoughts on war, peace and other things might have occurred in a state that a Democratic presidential candidate has a prayer of winning. Fortunately, the event of dueling sound bites will not affect next year's outcome here, where the last successful Democratic presidential candidate was Jimmy Carter, seven elections ago.

BEST LINE.... "many - probably most - Democratic activists have other first goals, including making the world safe from America's military."

[Fresh Wind]

Nine percent think Al Gore is running.

They're the ones who still think he's president.

[Carthago delenda est]

Just what I was thinking. Will usually has at least one incredibly quotable "zinger" in every column.

With this group, the 'rats may have to bring Carter back to run again.

It worked with Frankie-the-Lout in NJ, when The Torch couldn't lie his way out of a mess - they could rewrite history again and claim that Carter was a great POTUS, just like they are with Bent Willie.

[Miss Marple]

What does this tell us about the democrat constituency, when 69% of the base doesn't know ONE candidate?!?

I would bet you could get the average Republican voter who could name at least 3!!

Or everybody's worst nightmare, Hildebeast.

My favorite line was from Sharpton:

"I was stabbed years ago so we need Federal gun registration."

MOsely-Braun said that Bush won with the black vote in 2000, Clarence Thomas. The racist blacks just cant hate that guy enough. Can anyone even believe a crass and crooked loser like M-B can keep a straight face and tell America (which she hates) that she wants to be the Prez. These people are stomach turners...

[Ed_in_NJ]

I suspect that 69% of the 'rat base have a hard time remembering their OWN names.

[Liz]

Stabbed? Maybe we should ban all steak knives?

[Ed_in_NJ]

How about Mouth Lewinsky -- she's spent more time in the White House than any of the other candidates?

[Liz]

It telle me the Dim base is functionally illiterate. Only thing
they can read is dollar signs and how much in it much for them.

[Liz]

They're still counting chads in Fla, eh?

[YaYa123]

"Tossed Salad" ?

Mixed nuts more like it.

[rvoitier]

Yes, they're prospects for Leno's Jay Walking All-Stars

[driftless]

They all broke their legs in getting to that Naral event that was held recently. Not a one missed it, and all were slavish in their desire to help organizations like Naral kill kids. Disgusting. Even Joe Lieberman had to kiss their scaly behinds.

"69% of Dems cannot name any of the nine candidates"

Well, we all know that 43% of all voters don't have a brain, or we wouldn't have elected Bill Clinton twice. The remainder can't even read -- just look at Florida in 2000.

But it still won't stop them from voting for the one that gets the nomination.

But you cannot steal first base - you must get nominated in order to win in November.

Actually, it (stealing first) has been done in MLB.
